Abstract
Parasites of larval black flies are reported for the first time from Thailand, including mermithid nematodes (Mermithidae), microsporidian fungi (Zygomycota), and the fungus Coelomycidium simulii Debaisieux (Blastocladiomycetes). The following nine species of black flies were infected with one or more parasites: Simulium asakoae, S. chamlongi, S. chiangmaiense, S. fenestratum, S. feuerborni, S. nakhonense, S. nodosum, S. quinquestriatum, and S. tani. The prevalence of patent infections per host species per season was 0.1-7.1% for mermithids, 0.1-6.0% for microsporidia, and 0.1-3.0% for C. simulii.
